Towbot provides detachable electric thrust for marine construction, dredging, jack-up support and offshore campaigns where a permanent DP installation is not justified.
A complete positioning package requires power, position-reference systems, control architecture, procedures and assurance. Towbot provides the thruster component within that system.
Work barges and crane vessels requiring precise positioning during construction operations, where anchor handling is impractical or the seabed cannot accept anchor loads.
Support vessels and work platforms for offshore wind, oil and gas campaigns that need temporary positioning capability for a defined project scope.
Floating transhipment operations that require maintained position relative to a berth or vessel during cargo transfer in exposed or tidal locations.
Towbot provides the thruster component. The complete system requires additional engineering.
Multiple Towbot units can be deployed on a single asset where the positioning requirement demands more thrust or redundancy than a single unit provides.
A complete portable DP installation also needs position-reference systems, power distribution, control architecture, operating procedures and a defined assurance pathway.
The required redundancy, position-reference systems, class notation, environmental envelope and assurance level are defined for each project. A Towbot configuration is not automatically a class-approved DP system.
